Anyway, I just put all my wood back in the box it came in. I rested it all on the foamy padding, polystyrene-like stuff craft supplies filled the box with, so there should be plenty of air circulating beneath it to help it reach moisture equilibrium with the surroundings faster. I havent closed the box lid either.
Soooo... this thread's on hold for a few weeks then!
Cheers, and were staying in a caravan for the first week and then a friends holiday house for the second. Neither have internet connections so I'll have to deal with full on forum withdrawl symptoms.
